GICHD Outlook Report 2022

GLOBAL FRAMEWORK

IMMEDIATE OUTCOME 11 The reduction of risks from explosive ordnance contributes to humanitarian action and sustainable development

11 cross-thematic partnerships to be

3 countries to align their national mine action strategies, NMAS and policies with the SDGs 6 case studies to be developed under the ‘Beyond Square Meters’ initiative Afghanistan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iraq, Somalia, South Sudan, Ukraine

to facilitate the exchange of information on gender equality and inclusion and the continued piloting of a podcast mini-series aiming to foster dialogue on existing challenges and opportunities to promote inclusive peace efforts, sustainable development, and gender equality and inclusion in post-conflict settings. Jointly with the UN Development Programme (UNDP), the GICHD will continue providing support and advice for better linking mine action contributions with broader national development frameworks and policy processes in six countries, including via a training course package developed by the Centre in 2021. For these same countries, the GICHD will also produce evidence-based, comprehensive analyses of the impact of mine action on sustainable development in the medium and long term, through a series of case studies. As relevant or required, the GICHD will contribute substantively to initiatives such as Geneva Peace Week; training courses organised by NATO and the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP); the Mine Action Area of Responsibility, under the umbrella of the Global Protection Cluster; and disarmament/arms control processes, such as the Western Balkans SALW Control Roadmap and the Multinational Small Arms and Ammunition Group (MSAG).

To enhance its relevance, efficiency and sustainability, mine action should be understood and operationalised as a contribution to and part of broader agendas. To this end, the GICHD develops stronger collaborations between the mine action, ammunition management, peace and security, gender equality and development sectors.

established with gender equality, humanitarian, peace, security and development stakeholders 5 interventions in training courses and policy debates to be delivered in the framework of the SDGs

KEY PRIORITIES

These will include the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development; Women, Peace and Security; the International Gender Champions; and disarmament and humanitarian action. Initiatives will include the development of a donor awareness platform
